This cake is considered to be the opposite to Angel Food Cake. The latter is light and airy, whilst devil's food cake is anything but.
This is essentially a moist, rich and chocolate layer cake. What is supposed to be the difference between an ordinary chocolate cake and a devil's food cake is that the latter contains more - perhaps a lot more - chocolate flavour than the former does.
Even though it is at base a chocolate cake, it usually, rather than chocolate, uses cocoa in the ingredients instead of chocolate. Coffee is also a common addition and it can be given a darker colour by using baking soda in the mix. For an even greater chocolate indulgence, melted chocolate may be used as well as the cocoa. For yet more chocolate, the cake may then have a chocolate frosting.
